Seattle Area Deposits

Hi,

I've been on this site for several months, but just decided to become a member. I really like this forum.

If anyone in the Seattle, WA area is interested in putting a deposit down on an RX-8, University Mazda is now offering MSRP (No markup) and $500 deposit. Their reserve list is limited to 15 and today I'll be the second or third (a guy might come in today before me and make a deposit) on the list.

I was holding off because in the past that same dealership wanted $1000 over MSRP and $1000 deposit and I said sorry, nothing over MSRP. They just changed their policy last week or so after going to some Mazda's national dealer meeting.

Thanks,
RX8-For-Me
